The Boys in Blue Propose a National
Boom.
AT regular meeting of Warren Post
NO. 54, G. A. r., held in their hall Thurs
day evening last, a resolution was passed
to appoint committee of two to confer
with like committee from Summer and
Fair Oaks Posts, on the advisability of tax
ing steps toward making an exhibit of the
products of Sacramento county at the G.
A. K. encampment to be held in st. Louis
The committees thus appointed will also
confer with the immigration Society, the
improvement Committee and the railroad
people IN the near future This Certainly is
move IN the right direction, and can but
be OF great service in advertising this sec
ton. The Grand Army boys that came
out here last year have done much toward
booming California. We all remember
their brilliant reception by the citizens of
Sacramento, and the speeches made by the
lamented Logan and Others Now the bows
OF Sumner Post propose to carry the war
into Africa, and Sacramento's exhibit of
products will be one of the features at the
National Encampment. In this laudable
undertaking the other Posts are working
shoulder to shoulder, and the boom COM
mittee will have to look to their laurels or
the Boys in Blue will carry off all the hon
ors. There is an old saying, and a true
one, that seeing is believing" and the

John Moon was charged with battery,
but succeeded in having the trial postponed
until next Tuesday. 1t is reported that
Moon is guilty of kicking a son of Mrs.
Gassaway.
John Fitzpatrick was accused of disturb
ing the peace but was too i'll to come into
Court TO plead
r. Vasquez, dissipated specimen of the
noble red race, had fallen under the influ-
ence of too much fire-water," and found
himself IN the dock charged with being a
common drunkard. He pleaded guilty and
went up for 60 days
John Mcneil, a late arrival from Oregon,
was up for sentence for battering French
prostitute, but before that official act was
performed Mrs. Stein charged him with
having stolen her Sunday slippers. John
said he did, and attributed all these mis-
haps to the fact that some years since he
took fly " down a mining shaft in Idaho
and landed on a cracked skull That in
jured skull got him drunk periodically, and
he did not know what he did on such occa-
sions. The Court gave him 100 days for
battery and ten more for larceny.
Frank Sylvera, lad of fourteen years,
was charged with battering woman. Case
continued one day.
James McAllister told how he had at
tempted to straighten out the McAllister

Combined Harvester Contest.

An interesting test of the merits of har-
vesting machinery took place on Sargent
Bros. farm, sixteen miles from Stockton.
on Wednesday afternoon. The contest was
in the presence of Directors Hancock La
Rue, Green and Chase and Secretary Smith
OF the State Agricultural Society, and was
witnessed by fifty or sixty farmers and
many ladies. The following machines
were entered: Improved Houser; small
Houser, or Little Giant; large Houser (old
style); Holt Bros machine, and that made
by Tretheway Bros. All these machines
were made in the city of Stockton. The
test was made on reclaimed tule land, that
had heavy mixed growth of wheat, bar
ley and weeds, lodged and tangled in all
shapes. The ground was soft and yield
ing, not only to the horses, but the ma
chimes also sank sometimes until the
framework touched the ground Under
all these conditions. the test was indeed
very severe. The small Houser was run by
fourteen horses. the big Houser by twenty
six, and the other three by twenty-five
each.
All the machines are reported to have
done satisfactory work. All cut well. but
the manner N which they received and
delivered the grain was somewhat varied.
The Improved Houser handled the grain.
both going IN and coming out, better than
any other. The test consisted in cutting
across field about 500 yards two or three
trials were given. In this test the Big
Houser turned out nine sacks, the Inn
proved Houser, seven and one-half sacks
and the others little less. The grain
when delivered in the bag, showed fully
half barley from some, about one-fourth
barley in Others, but the Improved Houser
turned out very clean article of wheat
The committee averaged the crop, which
will make forty bushels to the acre.
On Monday they will return to continue
the contest, on solid land, with grain that
is standing and in frst-class condition
Many farmers, who were present, expressed
a desire TO witness such contest, believing
it better average test of the true merits OF
these machines.

Out of EMPLOYMENT,

As the harvest season draws to a close
the laborers on the farms begin to congre-
gate in the cities. Yesterday the entrance
to well-known employment Office in this
city was crowded with men, whom the pro-
prietor said desired situations. Those
men, said he, " have spent the summer
in the field, and now you can scarcely find
one of them with a S5 piece. 1t is gone,
and but few opportunities are presented
for them to find employment. For some
time the supply will far exceed the de-
mand." In regard to domestic help, he
said it was only occasionally that good
house help could be had, although there
was great demand for it. The fact that
young women in California are adverse to
doing household work for wages has been
the cause of having to use so much Chinese
help"
Is there no remedy for the future?" was
asked.
Yes, have been here for many years,
and l observe that people-honest, indus
trious Eastern people-are Just beginning
to discover that our climate is superior to
any east of the Rockies, and sooner or later
this class will come here to make homes
and ea1n money. When they do, the class
that now lives by their wits and by the
sufferance of the business community will
find their occasional jobs of labor gone.
No man knows anything about the
labor question as it really exists in Califor-
MIA. unless he has conducted an employ
ment Office"
1t may seem little strange, but while
this man was talking, the men who stood
around outside the Office appeared to be as
happy as if each had a competency for life
There must be something in our glorious
climate when want and poverty can smile
at its own destitution.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
An Ugly Family Row.

Yesterday c. II. Cook was arraigned in
the Police Court on complaint of Mr..
Ray, whose peace had been disturbed. OF
that there could be but little doubt, and
the Court adjudged Cook guilty, but with.
held sentence and permitted Cook to go on
his own recognizance.
The facts disclosed are about as follows !:
Thursday afternoon Cook and his FIVE
children were elected from their former
home by the Sheriff, upon a writ issued
from the Superior Court at the instance of
Eli Mayo. The children were turned out
IN the back yard, and, but for the charity
OF neighbor, would have used the
heavens for covering all night One in
telligent little Miss said she sat up. until
) A. NJ. Friday, when a neighbor provided
her shelter. She said, with tears in her
eyes, that Mayo told the children if thew
came through the gate they would receive
SIX months" 1t further appears that
Mayo and Mrs. Cook do not conduct them
selves with propriety, and that Mrs. Cook
Is falthless wife and an unnatural
mother. It seems that Mrs Cook origin
ally purchased the property from Mayo
and still owed some part of the purchase
money. IL was arranged so the evidence
disclosed, that Mrs. Cook should re-deed
the property to Mayo, and that he would
sue to eject Cook. This action resulted in
the issuance of the writ above mention ed.
After the ejectment, Mrs. Cook came to
the premises in a hack, and rejoiced over
the fact that she had him now" There
was no evidence that she looked after the
houseless children. Mayo claimed to be
friend OF the lady, out of the purest mo-
tves OF philanthropy, but those who know
of his conduct with Mrs Cook have no
confidence in such assertions. Judge Buck
ley made an exhaustive review of the case,
and told Mayo that he knew people did
not look on his acts as charity. Most men
would not tolerate such conduct in the
family, but would invoke a law of their
own to fit the case. The scoring given
Mayo by the Judge was one that ought to
cause some reflection. The Court declined
to have Cook locked up, as the children
needed his care and protection. The spec
tators would more willingly have seen
MAYO locked up

MORE ABotT SMoKING.-The observa-
tions of DR.. Frantzel, of Berlin, show that
the effects of immoderate smoking are
seldom manifested before the smoker i,
thirty, but that the heart troubles most
often begin between the ages of fifty and
sixty. Finer-havored cigars bring about
such troubles more frequently and more
speedily than common ones. 1t may be
regarded as certain that the injurious ac-
tion of smoking does not depend upon the
amount of nicotine, but upon some as yet
unknown cause

SchoOl-ROom Work.

The precision with which pupils perform
their school-room duties is, in most cases, a
true index to the future business methods
of the coming men and women. Professor
Madison Babcock, of the Sacramento
Grammar School, has, subject to public in
spection, samples of class work in drawing,
composition and arithmetical exercises,
which are wonderful in their way for neat
ness of execution and precision in matter
of detail work. In comp 1sing exercises
the plan is to provide each pupil with a
picture, which, of course, to young minds
is suggestive of thought, and require the
pupil to put those thoughts connectedly
upon paper in given length of time The
specimens shown give promise of careful
instruction. The same may be said of
large collection of samples of map draw
ing. Not the least meritorious of all this
class of work are the solutions of examples
in arithmetic. While correctness OF re-
suit has been arrived at largely, system
and method in the way of placing each
step on paper has not been neglected. Pro-
fessor Babcock's success has been so
marked that the same plan. so happily en-
ployed, ought to commend itself to each
teacher in all departments.

Without Irrigation.

G. u. Kerr, of Elk Grove, was in Sacra-
mento yesterday, and had some remark
ably fine specimens of peaches that were
grown in his orchard without irrigation
They were of the early and late Crawford
and early Cling, and were very large, finely
coiored, and of perfect flavor. He states
that the Hale's early peaches raised by him
this year, but which are now all gone,
were equally choice, and matured in the
most desirable condition with only
thorough cultivation and no
water. Mr.. Kerr, in planting
his orchard, subsoiled to depth
of two feet, and by means of thorough
cultivation has raised without any failure
of crop, the finest OF marketable fruit.
Mr.. Kerr does not, however, advocate
non-irrigation as principle, but cites his
premises as proof that with proper plant
ing and cultivation the most successful
work in fruit cultivation may be accom-
plished in most soils without artificial ap-
plication of water As to the advantage to
be derived from the introduction of water
upon the lands of Sacramento county, with
a view to inducing settlement of homeseek-
ers on small tracts of land, Mr.. Kerr
warmly favors it, and thinks it viii not
only speedily bring new population. bat
largely increase assessable wealth.
